In what can only be called bad news for grassroots conservatives intent on trying to win back the Republican Party, a Yahoo News item via The Center for Public Integrity claims U.S. Chamber of Congress’s new political strategy “will include a greater emphasis on recruiting the right sort of business-friendly GOP candidates and intervening in primaries as it attempts to sculpt a compliant Congress that mirrors its priorities. In other words, the Chamber will double down on its political juggernaut, and will no longer take breaks between elections.”
In essence, the Chamber seems determined to buy its version of an open borders, big business supporting GOP, at the expense of what would traditionally be thought of as the Reagan wing. And there’s no sign of the Chanber’s willing to relent. If anything, it seems to be upping the ante to acquire the best big business-friendly political party money can buy.
“We’re just going to run it 24 months in a row, cycle after cycle after cycle,” said Thomas Donohue, 76, the Chamber’s longtime president and chief executive officer, during the Feb. 19 conference call.
The group is already raising money for upcoming special elections in New York and Mississippi. And after Labor Day, it plans to launch image-boosting campaigns in states like Illinois, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, which all have Chamber-friendly Republican Senate incumbents up in 2016.

CoC has been doing this for years, and we are losing our country as a result of this.
Like Walker, Bush and Huckabee?
I’d sooner see it all burned down than cede to them and their ilk....just like Democrats.
This will play into LIV memedom like a dead bug crushed on Rove’s whiteboard.
Third party?
The entire GOP establishment may not be for sale yet but the annual rental isn’t that much.
This is the very sort of thing that will drive the LIVs flocking into the arms of Liz Warren.
They will be throwing their money into the street.
The Republican party is dead, deceased, room temp, and rotting.
Don’t know what the future holds, but it most certainly does not include the Republican party.
Heck, it might not even include the U.S.
Wonder how much of that bribe money is coming from mexico and china?
If you can’t beat them, buy them out. This is mission statement of the US CofC.
At the rate things are going, they’ll be able to buy it for about a buck-fifty.
Wait... you mean they haven’t already?
Arrest Tom Donohue for corruption, aiding and abetting, and sedition against the United States
The CoC used to be a serious organization. Now its just a vehicle for illegal alien cheap labor and crony capitalism. When did they go wrong?
conservatives are not anti-business. I have no idea what this nonsense is about.
commie leftists are anti-business!
You don’t have to buy them again.
In the late 1980’s, they turned to globalism/statism. I was a member in the early 80’s. I now despise them.
Thomas Donohue and the rest of the treasonous chamber of commerce scumbags should be arrested by Navy SEALS pending trial.
